Memoires, contenant les vies des hommes illustres et grands capi-
taines etrangers de son terns. 2v. 1739.
Brantome (c. 1 540-1614) was a French soldier and courtier.
"The great merit of Brantome lies in the extraordinary vividness of his powers of
literary presentment ... His irregular, brightly coloured, and easily flowing manner,
represents, as hardly any age has ever been represented, the characteristics of the great
society of his time... [His] unquestioning acceptance of, and belief in, the moral stand-
ards of his own society, give a genuineness and a freshness to his work which are very
rare in literature. Few writers, again, have had the knack of hitting off character,
superficially it is true, yet with sufficient distinction, which Brantome has." Saints-
bury's Short history of French literature.

taines frangois de son terns. 4v. 1739.

Reminiscences of some of the earlier members of a famous literary society of Cam-
bridge University, humorously dubbed the "Apostles" because its membership was
limited to 12. It was in its prime between 1824 and 1840, and has numbered among its
members -some of the most distinguished Englishmen of the century. Henry Sidgwick
was a prominent "Apostle" and in the recently published memoir of his life (92 S5682)
there are many interesting allusions to the society.

Far reaching comparative and scientific study of the origin, motives, ideals and
psychological importance of the autobiography. Eight hundred biographies in Latin,
French, German, English and Italian have furnished the groundwork for investigations
of the "obscure and important questions of the subjective tendency in private history, of
the standards of sincerity, and of the relative value of the deliberate self-study and the
unconscious self-revelation."

origin of the collection of portraits in the gallery and a descriptive catalogue of the
pictures.
"The forming of this famous portrait-gallery had been one of the Chancellor's
magnificent passions. . .The quality of the collection was more remarkable than its
number: for it was not made at haphazard, but selected by design, under the eye of
one by whom all that was eminent in English story was thoroughly known and ap-
preciated, and comprised what he considered the elite of the nation during the most
stirring years of all its annals, from the Armada to the Restoration." Edinburgh re-
view, i8i2.
The portraits themselves are not reproduced.
Lindsay, Alexander William Crawford, lord. 920 L72
Lives of the Lindsays; or, A memoir of the houses of Crawford and

The author, 25th earl of Crawford and 8th earl of Balcarres, was well versed in the
history and genealogy of this ancient Scottish family.
"To a Norman gentleman, M. Toustain de Richebourg, our chronicler is indebted
for many of his archaeological materials; while abundance of lighter matter, concerning
more modern times and persons, has been gathered from journals, diaries, and memorials
kept by the Lindsays It is by no means a constant fact that every heraldic painter
shall execute his labour of love and reverence with so much sincerity, delicacy and
patience as Lord Lindsay has. He has given us a book which Scott would have de-
lighted to honour." Athenceum, 1849.

Fergusson; Willie Laidlaw; Tom Purdie. — Scott's relation to other poets: Campbell;

Its charm for the most part is that it brings us into familiar friendship with a host
of old Scottish ladies, Edinburgh advocates, antiquarian lairds, and great folk whom we
had learned to know a little in Lockhart and other writers of memoirs. Some of the
material is from printed sources, but a great deal of it Miss Maccunn has drawn from
stores of unpublished correspondence. Beyond its burden of entertainment the chief
merit of the book is the light it throws on the genesis of Scott's poems and novels. Con-
densed from Nation, igio.

"Interesting selection of intimate letters, which covers the lives of Cosimo, Piero,

sources, but also from those many little volumes issued privately in honour of the mar-
riage of a friend — ^in accordance with a graceful Italian custom which has successfully
prevented quantities of valuable material from being of use to any but the few — and
above all from the Medici archives in Florence. Consequently much of the contents of
the present volume is altogether new. . .The majority of the letters are political." Athe-

"Authorities consulted," v. i, p. 15-17.
This work saps the foundations of many a time-honored misconception built upon
stories that cannot bear critical examination. The author places before us the results
of the most recent research, impartially sifting the evidence as he goes; it is we who
draw the inevitable conclusions. In the course of his survey he conscientiously ex-
amines the life of each member of the Medici family whose name has come down to
posterity. The work accordingly comprises more than a hundred biographical sketches
of members of the house of Medici, beginning with its founder Giovanni di Bicci, and
ending with the electress Anna Maria Ludovica; while the connected subjects upon
which it throws light are of the most varied character. Condensed from Athencnim, 1909.

English historian (1792-1867).
"The last volume of his autobiography contains full details of many interviews with
distinguished persons in London and elsewhere, his reception at the houses of the
nobility, and his speeches at public dinners and meetings, together with speculation*
upon politics, human nature and criticism. . .On the whole, his accounts of distinguished
men, though coloured by his prejudices, are sensible as far as they go. The book is
amusingly characteristic of his even temper, calm conviction of his own merits, and con-
fidence in his own predictions; but, like all autobiographies, is chiefly interesting in
the earlier part." Dictionary of national biography.

Allingham was an Irish poet. The interest of his diary depends little on his own

Delia Bacon (181 1-59) was an American author who zealously advocated the

making her researches. The story of her life is tragic, for her brilliant though unsound
mind finally gave way under the strain of her delusion, but her biography has interest
and value, if only for the glimpse it gives of her friends, Hawthorne, Carlyle and Emer-
son. The former was from first to last her faithful and devoted friend, and all three
were her correspondents. Emerson served as her channel of communication with editors
and publishers.

the century. He was for 12 years one of the editors of the New York "Evening post,"
was consul at Paris, 1861-64, arid minister to France, 1864-67. His recollections are
full of memories of American statesmen of the middle 19th century and letters from
public men of distinction. Especially full and frequent are the letters from Charles
Sumner, an intimate friend. These three ample volumes close with his retirement from
the diplomatic service.

Blackie (1809-95) was a Scottish philologrist, for 30 years professor of Greek in the
University of Edinburgh. The letters to his parents cover about two years and a half,
while he was a student in Germany and Italy. The youthful letters are followed by
others written ten years later to Miss Wyld, whom he afterward married. The rest of
the correspondence, and the largest part, covers Blackie's married life, 1843-95. The
letters are various in theme but uniform in their tone of steadily sustained cheerful-
ness. They contain references to nearly all the distinguished men of his time.

Written between 1869 and 1889, mostly to her children, they at first abound in

other things is a complete and exact transcription of the parts of Crabbe Robinson's

affords an admirable criticism of Blake as artist, poet and thinker and settles a number

reign of Louis XVI to the revolution of 1848. She relates much of the gossip of her
time and her personalities are often touched with prejudice.

Brooks (1815-74) was from an early age a voluminous contributor to the press, be-
sides writing a number of novels. In 1870 he assumed the editorship of "Punch." He
was a great talker of the old sort; a tremendous writer, turning out jokes, poems, parlia-
mentary reports, any kind of "copy," with incredible ease — a born journalist. His let-
ters are of the kind that must have filled the recipient with joy, but that somehow in
cold print, half a century later, sound forced and schoolboyish. Condensed from Nation,

More than half the book is occupied with the memoir of Brown (1844-78), who was

"Bibliography," p.397-400.
Readable volume of appreciation, written from the point of view of the negro.
Disappointing in that it betrays little original research and contains many inaccuracies,
partly because the author has relied on his predecessors in the field. The last chapter
is a notable discussion of the race question as it stands to-day in the light of John
Brown's sacrifice.

No pains have been spared to produce a biography both accurate and complete.
Author has traced Brown's life from day to day throughout the entire active period of
his career, has gone minutely over the ground on which he operated, and tested every
printed or verbal statement with the rigid thoroughness of a laboratory investigator.
We have here a book, and the only book, in which the unquestioned facts of John
Brown's career are completely exhibited. If the author's conclusions differ from the
conclusions of others, he cannot be charged with either withholding or distorting the
evidence upon which they are based. Condensed from Nation, 1910.

Oscar Browning (b. 1837) was master of Eton from i860 to 1875 and has been
lecturer in history and political science at Cambridge since 1876. He has found his
supreme interest in the education of statesmen, and he looks upon Mr Gerald Balfour
and Lord Curzon, whom he taught, as works of his hand. His book is personal from
beginning to end, but never self-important.

Contains some 30 letters from Browning and Joseph Arnould, afterwards judge of
the Supreme court of Bombay, to Alfred Domett, who went as a colonist to New Zealand
in 1842 and remained there for 30 years. The letters are those of friends and are
chiefly occupied with the personal affairs of the writers. The volume is of much inter-
est if only as showing Browning's sympathetic nature and gift for friendship.

"The late Professor Hall Griffin was an enthusiastic student of Browning, and had
collected a large amount of biographical and illustrative material. Among other things,
he discovered the diary of Alfred Domett; he visited and identified all Browning's
homes, early and late; and his friendship with the Browning family and with some of
Browning's closest friends gave him access to many unpublished sources of information
. . . Book is more than a thesaurus of facts. It is admirably written, and full of good
sense and good judgment. It does not attempt to provide any elaborate critical ap-
paratus, but such criticism as is given seems to us exceptionally balanced and sane. The
book is primarily a biography, and in the second place a history of literary influences
and the genesis of the poems." Spectator. 1910.

"These memoirs contain the contemporary impressions of the wife of a Prussian
diplomat at Turin, Florence, and The Hague a generation ago . . . English by stock,
French by bringing up, and Prussian by marriage, she had the cosmopolitan point of
view and contacts which well fitted her to be a diplomat's wife. Add to those charms
a quick and receptive intellect, and simplicity of character proof against the artificiality
of courts and social conventions, and you have an unusual personality. Madame de
Bunsen was at Turin from 1858 to 1862, during the years when the Piedmontese capital
became the storm-centre of Europe. Her impressions of men and events are vivid."

Butler, Sir William Francis. 92 B9792b
Sir William Butler; an autobiography. 191 1. Constable.
Sir William Butler (1838-1910) was an Irish soldier who served under Lord Wolse-
Icy in Canada, in Ashanti, in Egypt and in South Africa. The most interesting part of
the book is perhaps to be found in the last three chapters which relate to the South
African war. Disapproving of the British management of the situation, just before the
outbreak of hostilities he resigned his command and returned to England. The auto-
biography ends at this point but there is a brief supplementary chapter by his daughter.
The book makes agreeable reading, both from the vigor of the narrative and from the
frankness of the views expressed.

"Byron's letters appeal on three special grounds to all lovers of English literature.

1909. Unwin.
By a friend and fellow-countryman of Carlyle. First published in 1881.
Masterly little biography; a picture deftly painted and pleasant, yet far above the
mere art of the portrait-painter; appreciative to the verge of hero-worship, but stopping
short at that point where hero-worship becomes idolatry: — a bit of work, indeed, which
it would be hard to surpass for sympathy, delicacy, liberality of view, and wealth of
friendly insight. Read, as it should be read, after the "Reminiscences," it purifies the
memory of certain igfnoble moods. Condensed from Contemporary review, 1881.

"As this work was not published until the outbreak of the Crimean War, the ques-
tion of its genuineness was everywhere raised. From internal evidence it is now gener-
ally accepted as authentic; though it was long in the hands of Catherine's imperial
successors, and the proof that it was not tampered with is not quite complete. The
volume has to do almost exclusively with Catherine's early years. But it is a most
extraordinary uncovering of Russian court life. The imbecility of Peter the Third, the
dissimulation and ambition of his wife, the mixture of barbarism and brutality that
everywhere prevailed, are nowhere else more graphically portrayed." Adams's Manual

"Godwin, while nominally writing a life of Chaucer, looked upon biography as
nothing more than an entrance into the broader fields of social and political history,
where it was permitted him to disport himself at will . . . He seemed, moreover, constitu-
tionally incapable of sifting truth from error, and was especially inclined to... stating
as true what he was anxious should be true He added something specific to our

1910. Century.
"It has seemed to the writer not only an obligation of friendship but of patriotism
to make some record of the personality of Mr. Cleveland, as revealed in an intimacy of
many years. The large traits of his character, and those imptortant public services which
far transcended partisan accomplishment, have made their impress upon the American
people and the world. . .Sympathetic speakers and writers have told much, also, of his
characteristics and his daily walk, but the full portrait has not yet been rounded out.
I desire merely to add a few intimate touches to that portrait, not thinking to complete
it; but only to help loyally toward its completion." Introduction.

"The book is properly named. There is a preliminary sketch of Cleveland's life
before he became a national figure, and hardly any really important event of his career
goes entirely unmentioned: but the book is not a biogrraphy. . .Mr. Parker's. . .are not the
only recollections the book contains. Others of Cleveland's friends have contributed to
his store, and perhaps the most valuable of all are certain of Qeveland's own, given
from time to time in conversation, dealing with some of the most interesting episodes
of his career and with the best-known of his contemporaries. And yet, although
thoroughly reminiscential, the book is not light and gossipy, or of a newspaper or maga-
zine flavor, but a careful presentment of a great public character as seen by his inti-
mates." Nation, 1909.

Cobbett (1762-1835) was an English political writer, agriculturist and grammarian.
He emigrated to America in 1792 and began the publication of "Porcupine's gazette,"
which upheld the Federal side in politics. Twice prosecuted for libel, he returned to
England and started his famous "Weekly political register," which, from being a Tory
organ, gradually changed its politics and became the determined opponent of the govern-

Intimate passages are rare, and as a rule the letters move in the peculiar field of
generalization that makes most of the correspondences of his age neither quite literature
nor quite familiar self-revelation. The letters that passed from man to man in those days
were written not so much to acquaint the recipient with the details of the sender's life,
as to foster the ideal of friendship, and it is with this understanding that we must ap-
proach Donne's letters. Mr Merrill's explanatory and historical notes show judgment

Joseph Dudley (1647-1720) was a colonial governor of Massachusetts. Though an

has been unfavorably viewed by former historians. The present study is not intended

and Dudley as its exponent.

condemns the policy pursued by Church and State, and betrays in so doing a certain
measure of sympathy with the unfortunate reformer, though he does not in the slightest
let this obscure his judgment. The points for both sides are marshalled and discussed
with true judicial balance. . .and his outline of the trial is a keen study of Spanish juris-
prudence The twenty illustrations add greatly to the value of the book." Outlook

1907. Houghton.
Fessenden (1806-69) was one of the leaders of the Republican party through the
antislavery struggle, the Civil war and reconstruction. The records of these events are
found only in part in these volumes, but what is lacking in the way of history is more
than made good by private letters and memoranda of the senator, giving us his inmost
thoughts at critical periods and portraying his personality as no other hand could do.
The arrangement of the matter is defective, but the matter itself is of the first class.

for treason and executed. Forbes (1685-1747) was a Scottish judge and a warm sup-
porter of the government.
"He gives authorities which show an extent of research, among printed and un-
printed materials, for which... we were not prepared. . .The value of his labours can
only be acknowledged by those who, by having studied this portion of our history, can
estimate the skill with which he has compressed so much into so small a compass."

It is somewhat smug and conventional; it is essentially mid- Victorian in its influence,

acquainted with those who were. He was a typical product of the privileged class of the
old regime, a young man-about-town with no other purpose in life than to shine in
society. His 'Recollections,' which were begun only in 1837, show a remarkably keen

Aim of this small selection from the whole body of his work is to exhibit some of
the principles and convictions, the editorial methods and ideals, the tastes and interests
of the man who for over 40 years (1865-1906) was literary editor of the New York

Sets forth in brief compass and in an orderly manner the main events of Garrison's
career, giving enough of general history to show the connection and enough of personal
detail to show the man. More successfully than almost any other historian who has
dealt with the abolition movement, Mr Swift has outlined the moral foundations of
Garrison's course. Condensed from Nation, 1911.

It was Mrs Gaskell's wish that her biography should not be written, hence none of
her letters are available and the lack of them is felt in this book, which is partly bio-
graphical and partly critical and which identifies many of the persons and scenes of her
novels with actual characters and incidents.

Lady Giffard was the sister of Sir William Temple, lived with him, accompanied
him in his diplomatic missions and survived him for some years. As a letter-writer she
does not shine in comparison with her sister-in-law, Dorothy Osborne, to whose "Letters"
this volume is in a sense a sequel, but her letters give perhaps a wider view of the
domestic and courtly life of the time, and they carry on the story of Sir William Tem-
ple's life which his wife's letters begin.

Gilman, Daniel Coit. 92 G42i£
Franklin, Fabian. Life of Daniel Coit Gilman. 1910. Dodd.
Mr Gilman (i 831-1908) scored more, and more various, successes than any other
man who ever dealt with education in America. Others may have equaled him in the
quality of their service, but none conducted so many important enterprises so suc-
cessfully. Deeply associated with the organization of the Sheffield Scientific School
at New Haven, with the upbuilding of the University of California, the foundation of
Johns Hopkins University, and of its Medical School, he found energy at seventy to
inaugurate the work of the Carnegie Institution, and in the last year of his life he
practically gave shape to the Russell Sage Foundation for sociological and charitable
investigation. In treating such a career, the biographer had no choice but to merge
the hero in his causes. This Dr Franklin, a former Johns Hopkins colleague, has
done, adding as a sort of supplement a selection from his intimate correspondence, and
a brief sketch of his family life by Mrs Gilman. Dr Franklin has set forth with admi-
rable orderliness and lucidity the chief activities of a varied and complicated life.

foremost leader writers in the history of the American press and his editorials in the

In his life of Goethe, Lewes speaks of Goethe's mother as "one of the pleasantect

"A valuable contribution. But it will not supersede Lewes's book [Life and works

still less possible to speak politely ... The other stumbling-block is the attitude of adora-

The countess of Granville [1806-68] was the daughter of the fifth duchess ot
Devonshire, famous for her beauty, and the wife of a diplomat who at various times
represented England at the courts of St Petersburg, The Hague and Paris.
"Her letters to her brother and sisters, written in all the freedom of confidential
intercourse, are racy, graphic, humorous and instinct with good sense and right feeling
...[Their] greatest charm, however — is the pathos which underlies their mirth, and
the true nobility of character which, in scenes little favourable to serious thought or
delicate feeling, preserved Lady Granville throughout life wholly unspotted by the world

Easy, informed and sympathetic, Mr Davey is rightly equipped for the task he set
himself in writing of Lady Jane Grey. In his account of her nine days' sovereignty, her
education and bringing-up, he corrects some errors of strange popularity, and in the
introduction Mr Hume exposes the political situation in Europe and the social condition
of England in such a way as to make intelligible much that would confuse the average

The author of this fascinating book of reminiscence was born in England in 1848.
The next year his father emigrated to America and settled in the Illinois country. There
the sensitive and keenly observant boy grew to manhood. The thread of incident run-
ning through the first two-thirds of the book gives it somewhat the character of a novel,
but the last chapters have slight connection with what has gone before. Three chapters
are given to Fremont and his experiences, and there is an admirable description of the
Lincoln-Douglas debate, and of the city of St. Louis about i860. It is a matter of regret
that a work which makes, in large part, so welcome an addition to autobiographical
literature should not have been more consistently carried out. Condensed from Nation,

Lady Hamilton (i76i?-i8is) was a celebrated English beauty, wife of Sir William
Hamilton, ambassador at Naples. She was a powerful influence in the life of Lord
Nelson and was supposed to have played a considerable part in the political relations of
the court of Naples with England.
"Mr. Walter Sichel has utilised several new 'sources' for the life of Lady Hamilton.
Some letters by her were not acquired by the British Museum until 1896 and were
therefore unknown to earlier writers on the Neapolitan period of Nelson's life; and
there can be no doubt that the author's treatment of the whole subject is far more com-
plete and authoritative than that of Mr. Cordy Jeaffreson." English historical review,

Hearn.
"To those who still practice the moribund art of hobnobbing with books, of being
intimate with them and running in on them for informal converse, the volume offers
endless possibilities of intellectual stimulus and pleasant intercourse. Nine-tenths of the
collection are letters to Basil Hall Chamberlain, the noted and devoted student of Japan
and guide, philosopher and familiar mental crony of Hearn's Japanese years. In these
letters Hearn has almost literally poured out his mind to his friend. The comments of a
keen critic of literature and of life, the subtle characterizations of an intuitively
sympathetic observer, the whimsies of a child-like and sensitive imagination, and the
joyous discoveries and puzzled bewilderments of a delver into alien mysteries, all tumble
over one another in the fine disarray of an untrammeled spontaneity and with the un-
sought perfection of trained faculties at play." Life, 1911.

"Bibliography," by Laura Stedman, p.336-416.
Dr Gould approaches the subject from a novel point of view. He is an eye special-
ist, well known for a series of studies in which he has derived the eccentricities of
various geniuses from faulty vision. In this respect Hearn, with his one eye intensely
myopic, offered a tempting field which the oculist could not avoid. In the actual details
of Hearn's life, Dr Gould presents not much that is new. The most valuable parts of
the book are those in which Hearn's literary activities are traced. Besides a long and
complete analysis of all his published works, with extracts from the reviews of the time,
there is also a full bibliography, which includes even the manuscripts left by Heam.

and no explanatory notes are supplied in the English version. In spite of defects, how-
ever, it is a useful collection of material in convenient form.

great episodes which help to make their genesis and development more intelligible to
later times . . . The book is extremely well translated and is to be recommended without
reserve to all students of European history not by reason of any startling revelations
it contains. . .but because it throws much light on a complicated and important series
of events and is the record of an upright, courageous and far-seeing statesman." Sat-

When Bishop Huntington (1819-1904) first entered the ministry he was a Unita-
rian. Later his views changed and he became rector of an Episcopal church in Boston
and from 1869 until his death he was bishop of Central New York. The memoir goes
very little into the discussion of theological questions, but shows rather the man as his
family and intimate friends knew him. The glimpses which one gets of his early life
and later summers spent in Hadley, Massachusetts are particularly delightful.

As was to be expected, in this narrative of St. Ignatius not a shred of its romance and

"When the great collection of Jefferson's manuscripts was sold to the United States

private nature as to possess no value in the national archives, and to belong more proper-

daughter, and they form the raison d'etre of this book. It possesses the merits and de-
merits which might be expected, the documents being of positive value, and the family
recollections and traditions of distinct interest; but the book is faulty in method, being
both ill-proportioned and disjointed. It is, therefore, far more valuable to the maker
than to the reader of history." Larned's Literature of American history.

a visionary, whose illusions physical science can account for. He attempts to dear away
the mystery that surrounds her life by advancing the theory that she acted under the
advice of some unknown person.

of the century in which Julian lived... He does not contribute any new body of fact
for the church historian, but he gives a vivid picture of the moral conditions of the

velopment whether Christian or Neoplatonic." American historical review, 1906.

Lord Kelvin (1824-1907), one of the very few men raised to the British peerage
for purely scientific achievements, was professor of natural philosophy at Glasgow
University from 1846 to 1899. The direct successor of Newton, he launched into the
world the principle of conservation of energy, on which the whole fabric of modern
physics was based. The world knows him best as the man who has shown how prac-
tically to measure electric and magnetic quantities, and has made it possible to link
together distant continents by the electric telegraph.
"Full and authoritative account of his life and work. This biography was begun
during the life of Lord Kelvin, and, in fact, had his cooperation; after his death, the
original sketch was greatly extended by the materials furnished from his letters, diaries,
and other documents put at the biographer's disposal. In addition to the abundant
record thus available, Professor Thompson had the high privilege of being a personal
friend of the great physicist. The result is a book which will appeal strongly not
only to men of science, who have been eagerly awaiting it, but also to all those who
have an interest in the thought of the nineteenth century." Nation, jgio.

It should be said in praise and definition of Mr Cortissoz's adroit and sympathetic
study that no opinion and no phrase in it would disappoint La Farge himself. It gives
admirably the subtle and vivid thinker, the fastidious talker, the delightful man of the
world, who was perhaps the greatest social figure in America of our time. Neither a
record nor a criticism, but a character study. Aim is to make us hear and see the man ;
a knowledge of his works is presupposed and the delightful effect of the book depends
precisely upon this limitation of the field. Condensed from Nation, 1911.

Mr Hervey has devoted the larger part of his book to a careful and very musicianly
analysis of Liszt's chief works for piano, orchestra and voice, but in the brief account
of Liszt's life he has been admirably successful in bringing out the nobility of his char-
acter. Condensed from Academy, 1911.
Liszt, Franz. 92 LysShu
Huneker, James Gibbons. Franz Liszt. 191 1. Scribner.
Certain aspects of Liszt's life and art are studied without strict adherence to chrono-
logical sequence. The result, though it falls short of the author's original plan for an
exhaustive biography, is admirable and the book gives a vivid impression of this many-
sided musical genius, his career and the adulation which he received. There are 126
pages of extracts from the writings of men and women who have known Liszt, analyses
of some of his most important compositions and numerous illustrations.

Authoritarive account, though considered unduly laudatory. The brothers were
both eminent in English politics and diplomacy in the first half of the 19th century,

for treason and executed. Forbes (1685-1747) was a Scottish judge and a warm tup-
porter of the government.
"He gives. . .authorities which show an extent of research, among printed and on-

Lowell (1835-64) was a nephew of the poet. At the outbreak of the Civil war he
applied for a commission in the regular army. He showed genuine military ability and
his commission to be brigadier-general was signed on the day that he was killed at the
battle of Cedar Creek. To a singular degree everyone who came in contact with Lowell
seems to have felt the fineness of his spirit. Mr Emerson prefaces the letters, many of
which were written to his wife Josephine Shaw Lowell and to his friends Thomas Went-
worth Higginson and John Murray Forbes, with a biographical sketch.

deficr of popes, this admirable biog^raphy treats him as a human being. Author has

"The two volumes contain a vast mass of information which will be invaluable to
the future historian of the progress of natural science during the nineteenth century,
or to Lyell's future biographer; but his 'Life' as we understand the term, is not to be
found in them. . .The notes are few and far between. . .the meagre fragments of personal
narrative which occasionally head the chapters read like quotations from an indifferent
article in a biographical dictionary. . .On the other hand, those who know Lyell's books
will be delighted with his letters. He wrote in a good style. . .and he described what he

Macmillan, Alexander. 92 M2i42g
Graves, Charles Larcom. Life and letters of Alexander Macmillan.
1910. Macmillan.
Alexander Macmillan (1818-96) was the younger brother of Daniel Macmillan who
founded the publishing hottse of that name. Apart from the personality of the subject,
the biography is valuable as giving sidelights from an unusual quarter on the literary
life of the last century. His letters as well as the Macmillan lists reflect the history
of Victorian ideas from i860 to i8go.
Macmillan, Daniel. 92 M2i4h
Hughes, Thomas. Memoir of Daniel Macmillan. 1882. Macmillan.
Macmillan (1813-57) was the founder of the publishing house which bears his

for Macmillan's life was uneventful, but in its revelation of a character singularly noble
and attractive.

Hutton, Edward. Sigismondo Pandolfo Malatesta, lord of Rimini;
a study of a 15th century Italian despot. 1906. Dent.
An excellent book, worthy to be read by every lover of good English. Mr Hutton
has set himself to write fact as fiction, endeavoring to grfve an impression of the first
part of the 15th century without using a single incident which is not authenticated. His
subject is that strangest and yet most typical of Italian despots; and his mouthpiece is
a certain Pietro Sanseverino, a wholly imaginary person, but one, nevertheless, who tells
the story of his patron's life as seriously as Monsieur Yriarte himself has done, and
certainly with greater accuracy. Condensed from Nation, 1906.

Sir Horace Mann (1701-86) was for 46 years British envoy at Florence. During
this time he kept up a steady correspondence with his friend Horace Walpole.
"Lord Dover describes the letters on Mann's side as 'voluminous, but particularly
devoid of interest, as they are written in a dry, heavy style, and consist almost entirely
of trifling details of forgotten Florentine history'. . .Their contents are summarised in
two volumes published by Dr. Doran . . . They abound in accounts of serenades, fetes,

Mr Wilstach was associated with Mr Mansfield (1857-1907) for many years, was
devoted to his interests and writes of him with an unwavering and self-evident partiality.
Though packed with detail and somewhat disorderly in arrangement, the book succeeds
in revealing his powerful personality and versatile genius, and affords glimpses, through
the letters to Mrs Mansfield and his son, of a tender human side which was little known
to the world.

"Worthy memorial of a brilliant actor by his trusted friend and critic. Volume i
is devoted to the life, practically commencing with Mansfield's initial New York success
in 1883; volume 2 takes up his important roles in order. The book is authoritative in
its statements of fact, sympathetic and just in its estimate of Mansfield's complex char-
acter and the nature and scope of his genius, and contains examples of felicitous de-
scription and penetrating analysis that rank it with Mr Winter's best critical work. The
appendix contains a forty-three page chronology and a note on 'The gentle art of
plagiarism,' referring to Paul Wilstach, whose interesting life of Mansfield, though
fuller on the biographical side, will be critically superseded by this authorized biography.
The illustrations consist mostly of portraits of Mansfield in his various characters."

"Some notes on the private life of John Stuart Mill," by Mary Taylor, v.i, p.39-46.
The interest of this correspondence, which covers the period from 1829 to 1873,
is threefold. The letters tell much about Mill's own character which his autobiography
does not reveal, they throw light on some of the leading literary figures of his time,
including Carlyle, Sterling and Bulwer, and they give a clear and direct impression of
the public questions of that day in England.

Sanderson Miller was an English country gentleman with a reputation as an amateur
architect and a capacity for friendship of which these letters are a faithful record.
They seldom deal with public affairs but are largely occupied with architectural matters,
in regard to which Miller's friends often appealed to him for advice. Prominent among
the letters are those of Deane Swift, cousin and biographer of the great dean. Miller's
replies have not been preserved and we thus get a curiously reflected portrait of the
man as he appears in the minds of his friends.

. . . From the egotism which is the distinguishing mark of most theatrical autobiographies
it is almost entirely free... But few of her admirers, perhaps, realize the trials and ob-

"There is a touch of the Paston letters about the innumerable quaint details of
domestic life that crop up everywhere in the intimate letters of a woman to other

"Passages selected from letters, state papers and conversations, and arranged chron-
ologically under the dates to which they refer, not under the dates of utterance. They
form an interesting but incomplete and disconnected autobiography, but not a 'diary' as
the sub-title states. Its value is lessened by the editor's failure to mention sources and
to tell what versions have gone to make up composite entries, and the absence of context
renders many passages vague. A work of little or no historical value, but of decided
interest as a psychological study." A. L. A. booklist, 1911.

Napoleon's letters to Josephine, 1796-1812; for the first time col-
lected and translated, with notes social, historical and chronological,
from contemporary sources by H. F. Hall. 1901. Dent.
These letters are neither new nor of much importance. The framework of the
book is an elaborate diary of Napoleonic and European history from 1796 to 1814, in
which the correspondence is inserted in batches. Between February 1797 and May 1800,
no letters are available, and another complete vacuum reaches from August 181 1 to the
date of Josephine's death in 181 4. The collection may be accepted as generally authentic.
The topics of the letters are always the weather, health, clothes, presents, debts, grumb-
lings, and other intimate personal details, the whole written in an unaffected good-
natured style. The exhaustive notes are a delightful omnium gatherum of Napoleonic
lore, but are often foreign to the context. Condensed from Spectator, i^z.

The work of Alice Freeman Palmer (1855-1902) was of historical importance in
the development of education in America. Becoming president of Wellesley College
at the age of 26, she shaped its policies in the direction they have since followed. She
was a member of the Massachusetts State Board of Education and for three years dean
of the Woman's Department of the University of Chicago. All these interests are
fully treated in this biography, written by her husband, but they are subordinated to
the intimate and penetrating study of Mrs Palmer as a woman.

With the exception of one or two points, Mr Wright's two volumes bring to light
no detail of real biographic significance not to be found in Mr Benson's volume, and
few not adduced in Mr Greenslet's earlier and briefer study. The reader could arise
from the closest perusal of the two volumes with little sense of Pater's peculiar and
charming idiosyncrasy. It is, in short, the failure of the "Boswellian" method in biog-
raphy when applied by a man who is not a Boswell to a subject not a Johnson. Con-

Pattison (1813-84) was an English scholar and writer, tutor and examiner of Lin-

"The book is one of deep and painful interest, the only one in existence that can
be compared with Rousseau's 'Confessions' in the fidelity with which it lays bare the
inmost secrets of the heart, but in which, unlike the 'Confessions,' the author does him-
self much less than justice. He g^ves a far less favourable impression of himself than
any impartial outside observer would have done, and draws a portrait not so much of
what he really was at the time of which he writes, as of what he seemed to himself
through the morbid recollections of the past and the often not less morbid entries in
his diary. . .In his 'Memoirs' he is no less unfair to those whom he disliked than to him-
self." Dictionary of national biography.

Under the sympathetic hands of his biog^rapher, whose tone is that of a fervent Re-
publican, the story of Mr Piatt's career in the Senate from 1879 to 1905 has become
almost a history of national legislation for that period. Senator Piatt was one of the
last of our patriarchal statesmen, representing a kind of ancient severity and virtue, men
of deeds not of words. For a score of years he spent himself devotedly upon matters of
high public concern in which little individual glory was to be won. It was he who put
the Patent office upon an independent basis. Of the cause of international copyright
he made himself the champion and for years he served on the Indian committee. Con-

"Dr. Lee is one of the moving spirits of the Order of Corporate Reunion, which
has for its object the reunion of the English church with Rome, and it is, perhaps, not
unnatural that in writing of the one man who came next to effecting, and did for a time
effect, the much-desired reconciliation, he should view everything too exclusively in
the light of its bearing on his present aims... It results in the omission of many inter-

His guiding principle was his belief in Gothic architecture and his work was
in its day the most sincere, most faithful and most Gothic work that had been executed
in England since the isth century. His father, Augustus Charles Pugin (i 762-1 832)

Reagan (1818-1905) was a self-made man who rose to high rank under the ancien
rigime in the South and became the trusted adviser of Jefferson Davis. He was a man
of unusually clear vision, of absolute honesty and few abiding prejudices. The main
topics treated in his book are the writer's early life in Texas, the organization of the
Confederacy at Montgomery, the Civil war as viewed by an active and efficient cabinet
officer in Richmond, and the problems of reconstruction. The most interesting portion
of the book is the plain unvarnished story of Reagan's hardships and early struggles.
The last 100 pages contain his more important speeches in Congress and his public let-
ters of 1865-66. Condensed from American historical review, 1907.

The husband of the countess von Reden was minister of mines at the time of
Napoleon's invasion of Prussia and knew Stein and many of the public men of the day.

"His style is fair in both the senses in which we use the word — in that of being
temperate and just, and in that of being without a flaw; and these Reminiscences of
his younger years... are perhaps the most complete revelation of it... The first chapters
...are not the most vivid, though they contain a very interesting picture of the author's
birthplace, the little dead town of Treguier. . .It is when he comes to dip into his own
spiritual history that M. Renan shows himself a masterly narrator. . .The chapters on
the two seminaries in which he spent the first years of his residence in Paris, Saint
Nicholas du Chardonnet and Saint Suplice, are full of the most acute notation of moral
and intellectual conditions . . . He traces with singular art the process by which, young,
simple, devout, dedicated to the church from his infancy... he found himself confronted
with the fact that he could no longer be a Catholic." Henry James, in Atlantic monthly.

useful notes. While the pages reveal nothing of historical importance, they add greatly

and ripening amid congenial surroundings of a true and beautiful soul, a clear and
refined intellect, and a singularly sympathetic social nature." Editor.

"Quite as much a picture of Mr. Chesterton as a study of Mr. Shaw. The two-
edged quality of criticism has never made a more striking or amusing display of itself
than in this analysis of the supposedly. . .Shavian. . .characteristics. . .As to the plan and
scope of the book, it begins with a characteristic assertion: 'Most people either say that
they agree with Bernard Shaw or that they do not understand him. I am the only
person who understands him, and I do not agree with him.' Then follow. . .chapters on
Mr. Shaw as an Irishman, as a Puritan, and as a Progressive; but the greater part of
the book is devoted to 'The Critic,' 'The Dramatist,' and 'The Philosopher.' Hence it is,
as was natural, more a study of the writer than of the man." Dial, 1909.

Though fulsome in its admiration and somewhat disfigured by imposing literary

and opinions as he wishes to be generally known. There is no other authority (1911)

in London, of the genesis of the Fabian Society and of his journalistic career. Contains

Contents: The man. — The Fabian. — The playwright. — The philosopher.
This little book will afford great satisfaction to the admirers of Bernard Shaw; for
the author is an enthusiastic disciple of that brilliant but erratic propagandist. It is
cleverly written in a style that often suggests what the faithful call the Shavian attitude
and manner, gives an apparently authoritative summary of his various theories, political
and the like, and furnishes some significant facts which may help to account for a good
many of them. Condensed from Nation, 1907.

"Sheil played a distinguished, if not a decisive, part in the history of his times.
He was amongst the foremost of Irish tribunes, and was in the House of Commons a
successful speaker, of a peculiar kind. In our Clubs and in London society his caustic
tone and sparkling sayings were familiar to many, while his literary accomplishments
commended him to the regard of several who had no taste for Irish agitation." Athe-

from which to write the poet's biography. The result was a surprise and a disappoint-
ment. Hogg took unwarrantable liberties with his materials, and Shelley's representa-
tives, fearing that the prosecution of the work would result in stereotyping a caricature,
withdrew the documents on which Hogg had depended for continuing it.
"Hogg's offences as a biographer are g:rave...Yet how much less we should have
known of the youthful Shelley if Hogg had not written The book is indispensable for
one who would know Shelley; and yet for one who would know Shelley fully and aright
it is wholly insufficient. It is a fragment not only in the sense that it tells no more

acter." Edward Dowden, in introduction.

Among the memorabilia of Shelley's friends the memoirs which Thomas Love Pea-
cock contributed to the pages of "Fraser's magazine" will always hold an important
place. These memoirs have only once been reprinted and have been for many years out
of print. Mr Brett-Smith's introduction gives an account of Peacock's association with
Shelley. Peacock's record contains many particulars that are not to be found in other
accounts of Shelley, but in his desire for impartiality he sometimes appears to fail in
sympathy. As a clear and circumstantial chronicle of the chief events in the poet's life
it is especially valuable. Condensed from Outlook (London), 1910.

of treatment has as yet been applied, in any substantial form, to the career of Shelley

while the general sketch of events, though making fully a third of the bulk, is quite
without distinction. The pervading tone, moreover, is persistently eulogistic, though not
offensively so; and one looks in vain for any critical appraisal of Sherman's notable
public services. On the whole, the book does not displace the briefer and more dis-

As a memorial of friendship it is worthy of a place among the classics of human
history. It is the source of the classical story of Sidney's death; it is the best likeness
of the young "president of learning and chivalry" which has been left us by a con-
temporary; and it is a remarkable testimony by an experienced statesman to the great-
ness of Elizabeth's government. The whole work commands admiration as an archaic
but noble expression of the same spirit of chivalry that animated Sidney and Spenser.

The author, a shopkeeper, dealer in real estate, and local politician in Samoa, had an

the friendliest intimacy and to the fact that Stevenson was able to mix familiarly with

Tidour de la Cartrie, Toussaint-Ambroise, cotnte de la Villenihe. 92 T166
Memoirs of the count de Cartrie; a record of the extraordinary
events in the life of a French royalist during the war in La Vendee
and of his flight to Southampton where he followed the humble occu-
pation of gardener; with an introduction by Frederic Masson, appen-
dices and notes by P. A. Pichot and other hands. 1906. Lane.
The result of the painstaking investigations of M. Pichot, one of the most skilful
unravelers of historical problems connected with the revolution in France, establishes
the genuineness of these memoirs and their substantial accuracy beyond reasonable doubt.
Their interest is great and they have considerable historic value, although the author
may not have played a preponderant role in the military events he describes. The pub-
lisher's account of the discovery of the manuscript is one of the romances of publishing.

Theodore Thomas's life (1835—1905) was for several decades the life of a musical
frontiersman. He was not only one of the first to give New Yorkers their musical
education, but he soon extended his mission to a number of other cities by establishing
his musical "highway," and finally his orchestra in Chicago. In the annals of music
there are few chapters so interesting as those in which Mrs Thomas relates how the
great conductor gradually enlisted the sympathies of the captains of industry in that
city, persuading them, with the aid of his friends to erect for him a special building.

atones for his inadequacy as a literary critic by the understanding with which he portrays
Tolstoi's personality. He writes with ease and simplicity and with an abundance of
concrete illustration. Considerable portions of the work have been revised by the
countess Tolstoi or by Tolstoi himself, so that its accuracy may be generally relied on.

The object of the publication, the editors tell us, is not to supply matter to the his-
torical student, but to present the nation with a portrait of Queen Victoria. With this
aim such letters have been selected as exhibit the development of the queen's character,
her political relations with her ministers, and her domestic relations with her husband
and the members of her large family at home and on the continent Especially in-
teresting are the lights thrown on the four men who formed her select body-gjuard, so
to speak — Lord Melbourne, her uncle Leopold, king of the Belgians and his former
physician and secretary. Baron Stockmar, and Prince Albert. Condensed from Satur-

Vieilleville served three French kings, Francis I, Henry II and Charles IX, as

Wagner, Richard. 92 W134W
My life; authorized translation from the German. 2v, 191 1. Dodd.
This autobiography was privately printed in 1871 and the half dozen copies given
to intimate friends, republication for the world at large being deferred till years after
Wagner's death. "Mein leben" closes with the year 1864, but, though a torso, it takes its
place at once among the world's great autobiographies. It is very full in regard to
Wagner's childhood and youth and much of it is devoted to a narrative of the ill luck
which pursued him, through the greater part of his career, because of his unfortunate
determination to be a composer. The author tells a plain tale sparing himself no more
than others when occasion for censure arrives. He gives glimpses into the workshop of
his genius and throws a flood of light on the musical conditions of his time in most
European countries; and finally, what many readers will relish most, there are many
comments on great musicians who befriended or opposed him — Liszt, Schumann,
Mendelssohn, Berlioz, Meyerbeer, Biilow, Saint-Saens and a host of others. Condensed

Author, a Paris journalist, daughter of Theophile Gautier and an ardent admirer of
Wagner, was invited by the latter to visit him at his home in Lucerne in 1869. She
gives an intimate account of his home life and activities, adding a description of a visit
to Munich where the "Rheingold" was to be given for the first time.

Wagner, Richard. 92 Wi34ne
Neumann, Angelo. Erinnerungen an Richard Wagner. 1907.
The most important biographic contribution to musical literature since the beginning
of the century, with the exception of Wagner's Letters to Frau Wesendonck. It con-
tains a large number of the master's letters which have never before been printed, and
it gives so many interesting glimpses of life behind the scenes — ^both literally and figura-
tively— that in a short time it has reached its fourth edition. Neumann began his career
as a baritone, 50 years ago. He became a Wagner enthusiast during the Vienna con-
certs in 1862 and in 1876 he became joint manager, with Aug^ust Forster, of the Leipzig
Stadttheater, and from that time on he played a role in the life of Wagner, the im-
portance of which has heretofore been known to few. The Leipzig performances were
a brilliant success, and so were those Neumann gave at the Victoria Theatre in Berlin.
Neumann afterward gained Wagner's consent for his project of a traveling Wagner
theatre. The adventures which befell them in Paris, London, and the other European
cities down to Italy take up the remaining pages of Neumann's reminiscences. Con-
densed from Nation, igoy.

and unearthing letters. The new information is small in amount and about trifling
things; but the mass of correspondence here for the first time collected is a real en-
richment... It almost constitutes the book, besides giving its chief value; for the author's
own contribution consists, over a great part of the volume, of little more than con-
necting paragraphs." Athenaum, 1909.

"Seldom can a book have borne a more accurate title. Sir Henry gives an outline
of his diplomatic and Parliamentary career, throws in a few notes of travel with some
sidelights on the political history of his time, but his main interest is personal, and he
ambles gently on from man to man that he has known." Nation, 190S.

Smith, Logan Pearsall. Life and letters of Sir Henry Wotton. 2v.
1907. Clarendon Press.
"Prose works, poems and letters of Sir Henry Wotton," v.2, p.412-454.
Sir Henry Wotton (i 568-1 639) is familiar to lovers of English literature through
a few enduring poems, particularly the "Character of a happy life," and the memoir by
Izaak Walton, prefixed to his collection of Wotton's works. Wotton passed the active
years of his life in high diplomatic office and ended his days as provost of Eton. Mr
Smith has changed his vague image into a vivid portrait. He has come only a little
short of producing a literary masterpiece. He devotes two hundred and twenty-five
pages to a compactly detailed biography of Wotton. This is followed by Wotton's let-
ters, more than half of which are here printed for the first time. Condensed from
American historical review, 1908.
